Episode 61: Kanban and Flow Metrics

Certified - Project Management Professional (PMP) Audio Course

Kanban is more than sticky notes on a wall — it’s a system for visualizing and managing the flow of work. In this episode, we’ll explore the principles of Kanban, from limiting work in progress to focusing on flow and continuous delivery. You’ll learn how to use Kanban boards to bring clarity to workloads, spot bottlenecks, and encourage incremental improvement.

We’ll also dive into flow metrics — cycle time, lead time, throughput, and work in progress. These numbers reveal how efficiently your system operates and where delays occur. By mastering flow metrics, you can forecast delivery with greater confidence and drive improvements that make your team more predictable and effective. Kanban isn’t just for software — it’s a versatile approach that applies to any workflow where visibility and flow matter. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com.
